Cruise Ships And Lodges

Initial work began in 2013 with (60) day at-sea-trial using our advanced ECA systems for infection prevention programs that we have developed and refer to as Evolved Sanitary Operations Platforms®, or ESOP's. ESOP's comprise the prerequisite programs for our food AND ENVIRONMENTAL HACCP integrations. A core goal is to replace the use of toxic concentrated chemicals with non-toxic electro-chemically activated solutions (ECAS) generated on-site (shipboard). Our ECA cleaners and sanitizers are non-irritating to hands/skin, yet the sanitizers are broad spectrum and highly efficacious in inactivating virus and killing bacteria, mold, yeast and fungi. Of primary focus was our ability to control norovirus, the most ubiquitous infectious pathogen in the human herd. Our ECA systems and processes are now installed (permanently) and implemented into ships policy on (3) Princess Cruise ships with more to come. Results are statistically significant - and compelling.
